#promotiontimeline

I heard some promotions were approved and/ or in the process of being approved, but no word on timing. Anyone have any insight on when we will be notified?

Heard that promotions are back on. But this time, the number of promotions is very slim per department. Anyone know anything?

Everyone I know from 40 to 45 lately has been moving to lateral or even jobs they're overqualified for. Has anyone in this age range been able to move up in the last year or so?

it should be generally 1st week of march, but no info yet

Normal Verizon Timeframes.

April & October each year.

Be patient, it is coming.

How many of you have experienced this?

I see some people getting promoted rapidly within 1-2 years max and others still have the same title after 4-5 years.

How long did it take you to move from CL28 to 29? How much of a pay increase did you see when promoted?

Specifically section 4.6.
I'll wait.

For example. If you accept a new position in January of 2026, you will not receive any grade level change, title change of compensation change until March 2027.

So is there a way for promotion if your manager has not nominated you? Considering your manager is only at VP level and is like your HR manager only. Can someone from the top or anyone else push your promotion if not direct manager?

Can anyone shed light on how promotions to CL30 work? Of course, one needs to have exec potential.

Does one need an Exec sponsor? Is two consecutive Outstanding enough to get there after CL29?

Please FACTS only ... no bul--hit ... all cr-bab-es only read and learn ... don't need BTC/KLTC as well ...

when do managers/directors start conversations for which engineers should be promoted to the next pay grade? any details on how this process works? i believe promotions are in july/december and the conversations start in may/october. can anyone confirm and add detail?

I left Oracle three years ago and now see many former colleagues moving into VP or Senior Director roles. The bar seems lower than a decade ago. Back then, an IC5 promotion required pitching to several VPs; Director → Senior Director often took 5–8 years of hard work; becoming VP could take around a decade for top performers. Today I’m seeing a average guy become regional VP of AI with only a bachelor’s degree, little to no AI experience, and limited overall sales experience (<3 years at Microsoft, and in fact later fired). Has the process changed, or are titles being inflated? Where is this going? Is this a talent development, I guess not...
